Based on preliminary figures, the company generated consolidated sales of around EUR 270 million (previous year: EUR 263 million). This represents growth of approximately 3%. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) are expected to be around EUR 48 million (previous year: EUR 41.5 million). PVA TePla thus closed the past fiscal year within the forecast ranges of EUR 270 to 290 million in sales and EUR 47 to 51 million in EBITDA. The EBITDA margin rose to around 18% compared to 15.8% in the previous year, underlining the positive development of the Group's profitability in the past fiscal year.
Focus on future technologies as a solid foundation
The modest increase in sales confirms the company's strategic focus on future technologies driven by the megatrends of digitization, mobility, and decarbonization. In particular, quality inspection systems for increasingly complex chip architectures in the semiconductor industry and refining technologies, such as coating processes for the aerospace industry, contributed to this positive development. Investments in the PVA Technology Hub have also strengthened the company's innovation leadership. Thanks to shorter development cycles and extensive process know-how, the Technology Hub opens up access to new markets and customers and is therefore a key element for further growth in the coming years.
For the rest of the year, PVA TePla expects a gradual recovery in key industries such as semiconductors and automotive. Increasing demand for materials used in power electronics and energy storage devices opens up additional growth potential and supports the company's medium-term targets.
